    Ooft, I forgot that was today. That's my Friday viewing sorted.

    Just watched Butcher's Spice Girls speech to get me in the mood.

    I finished my re-watch last night, so good.

    Can't wait to get on the new season tonight.

    Annoyingly there's only three episodes out right now of S2, so won't be able to binge through it all

    Such a shame that they only released 3 episodes to start with.

    He really does. He's come a long way from losing Robin Hood's trust.

    Yeah his accent is mental, given it doesn't play into the story I wish they'd just had him do his own voice.

    Urban is fucking ace though.

    This has always been my take on it too. Him being a Londoner doesn't appear to be vital to the story in any way, they should just have let him drop it. But, as you say, Urban is brilliant in it. He's good enough that after a few episodes it stopped bothering me.

    It’s anti-Marvel. It follows (and there’s no spoiler past ep 1 here, and frankly every bit of marketing made for the series and the quite brilliant source material) The Boys as they look to take down the superheroes, who are every bit the antithesis of the Marvel archetype.

    Season 2 started well enough, but slow for the first two eps and has burst into life with Ep 3. The second half of which is as good as anything I’ve seen on the box in the past year.

    Started watching Humans, as I remember seeing adverts for it and thinking I'd quite like to watch it, but never got round to it when it was on C4. I'm part way into series one and it's a bit tedious is places (not sure if Leo's character is shit or the actor playing him is) but I'm certain I need a Gemma Chan sex robot in my life now.

    Without giving away any spoilers, I'd have no regrets if I were Joe.

    I need to determine if it's worth 70 quid alone as I haven't watched a single other thing on Disney+. Looks good though.

    I guess you could wait until it’s finished and just do 1 month?

    Or just get it for the 2-3 months it’s airing if you want to watch it weekly.

    That Dennis Nilsen programme is worth a watch, if only for all the brown environments and chain smoking.

    Caught up with Better Call Saul over the last couple of weeks by watching season 4 & 5 which I think are the strongest two seasons of the show.

    I ended up watching this in a sitting yesterday and I think I got lung cancer just looking at it. Every fucker in it is a rampant chain-smoker.

    Really good though. I saw some wanking about how it was glorifying him but unless they just mean by it being dramatised at all I dunno how you'd get that from the show.

    It was from one of the victim's families so they probably do that by default. Only Dennis Nilsen can glorify himself and now that fantasist is dead.

    Latest episode of The Boys was a bit filler-tactic. They need to crack on a bit and advance the plot.

    I know what you mean. I think it was still very good (I think season two in general has been excellent) but in terms of plot advancement, you're right, nothing really happened.

    A bit of what they might call a "bottle episode" I suppose. But I did still enjoy it.

    Was it just me, or did you also wish that Homelander:

    I think he's my favourite character on TV at the moment. Anthony Starr is brilliant as him.

    There's no way that he doesn't do something like that before the end of the show

    I've been watching Blacklist partly out of morbid curiosity at eventually reaching the corona episode and 7 seasons later it's genuinely amazing how poor it is.

    Finished up on All or Nothing: Spurs tonight. Was pretty good, Dele Alli is a fanny, Levy is a slimy prick and I love Son even more.

    Would have loved if they were allowed to get some footage of some tactical debriefing or something but they'd have never been allowed to show it.

    I'm loving every episode of The Boys. I'm not entirely sure where it's going anymore but im loving every minute.

    I've also been watching The Expanse. Most of theway through Season 1. It's a slow burner but it's interesting.

    It's probably on a level with the Sunderland effort.
